Abstract: A textile component may include a knitted component with a first knit layer, a second knit layer, and a pocket, where the pocket is located between the first knit layer and the second knit layer. A spacing element may be included, where the spacing element is located within the pocket. An embroidered element on an exterior surface of the first knit layer may be included, where the embroidered element extends through the first knit layer but does not extend through the second knit layer. The textile may also include a cushioning area that is elevated relative to a base portion of the knitted component. An emblem formed by the embroidered element is located within the cushioning area.

Abstract: Aspects herein are directed toward an upper assembly for an article of footwear that includes a knit element that extends from a throat area to a lower area of the upper assembly along at least a medial side and a lateral side of the upper assembly. The knit element includes a first plurality of aperture groupings. The upper assembly further includes a tongue that extends across the throat area and extends along at least a portion of the medial side and/or the lateral side of the upper assembly to the lower area of the upper assembly. The tongue comprises a second plurality of aperture groupings. The apertures in the second plurality of aperture groupings are axially aligned with at least a portion of the apertures in the first plurality of aperture groupings.

Abstract: Examples herein are directed to a knit lower-body garment, methods of manufacturing and/or forming the knit lower-body garment using a flat knitting process, and knit blanks used to form the knit lower-body garment. In examples, the knit lower-body garment is formed from a one-piece knit textile blank that includes partial-length knit courses in select locations and a crotch gusset to provide three-dimensional shaping to the resulting knit lower-body garment. Linking courses are used to reduce tension and reduce grinning issues between portions of the lower-body-garment that are integrally knit together. The use of different (e.g., denser) knit structures in selective regions of the knit lower-body garment is also disclosed. A knitting technique and pattern for simulating the visual effect of a conventional ottoman stitch pattern but in a different orientation is also disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to a reinforced knit channel for an upper configured to receive a lace. The knit channel includes a first knit layer and a second knit layer that at least partially overlaps the first knit layer and is interlooped with the first knit layer at a first interlooped area and a second interlooped area. A channel region is present between the first and second interlooped areas. A first portion of a tensile strand is integrated into the first knit layer in the channel region, and a second portion of the tensile strand extends over a surface of the first knit layer within the channel region. The tensile strand helps to reinforce openings into the channel region.

Abstract: An upper for an article of footwear may include an adjustable tensioning cable and a knitted component. The knitted component may include inlaid strands having exposed portions exposed on the surface of a knit element. A channel for receiving the tensioning cable is formed between the exposed portions and the surface of the knit element, where the tensioning cable extends through the channel.
